Well, dear readers, I think I had a very nice day yesterday. I think I got up. I think I did some errands and whatnot. I think I picked up one solitary package and no mail (a Kritzerland check is very overdue). I think I did not eat during the day, saving myself for a dinner at a now non-existent steak jernt. I think some actors from the long musical showed up and got their scripts and music. I think someone forgot to include the first actress we cast for the ensemble on the cast list – now fixed. Amazing, but true. I think I went to a lovelier than lovely dinner with Mr. Barry Pearl and his ever-lovin’ Cindy, who, coincidentally, is appearing in a play just up the street from the Eclectic Café, where we supped. Also seen at the Eclectic Café (and both stopped by our table), Mr. Calvin Remsburg and director Jules Aaron. I know the former, but met the latter for the first time. I think the food was quite excellent. I think I ate way too much. I think I had the pasta salsiccia – pasta with peppers of three colors, spicy Eyetalian sausage, and onions, in a light marinara. I think I had a Caesar salad, four pieces of bread, and a chocolate toffee mousse with scads of whipped cream. I think I couldn’t even finish the latter, which is most unusual. I think I was ready to explode. I think I then came home and sat on my couch like so much exploding fish. I think, therefore I am and, conversely, I am, therefore I think.
Last night, I watched a motion picture on Blu and Ray entitled Sanjuro, the follow up to Yojimbo, starring Toshiro Mifune. While I’ve seen Yojimbo any number of times, I’ve only seen Sanjuro once before. While it is not nearly as entertaining or artful as Yojimbo, it’s still a terrific film with great performances, great direction, and great music. It’s also twelve minutes or so shorter than Yojimbo, so it moves right along. The transfer was not nearly as good as Yojimbo, but it still looked fine. After the movie, I listened to some music, I thought, therefore I was, I had a telephonic call, I thought about some things, and I realized that now that addressing has been pushed to Monday, I have the entire Sunday to myself, and this, I think, makes me very happy indeed.
Now, I could keep writing these here notes, but frankly I need to hit the road to dreamland because I am mighty tired and filled with mighty yawning, and therefore I think that the bedroom environment would be a very good place for me to be. Of course, I have finished the entire fourth season of Adam 12, so I’m now watching The Eddie Cantor Story in the bedroom. It follows The Jolson Story formula pretty closely right down to using the same director.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I think that this section has too much thinking in it. But that’s because I use the think system.
Today, I shall do a whole lot of nothin’. Oh, I’ll do some planning for entrances and exits for the long musical, and I may even try to jog if the weather is nice and I have any energy, I shall eat something fun but frugal, calorie-wise, and I shall luxuriate in my day off.
Tomorrow, we’ll be addressing packages in the afternoon, and the rest of the day will be paper blocking for me. The rest of the week will, of course, be filled with rehearsals, meetings, some meals, and shipping out the latest Kritzerland release come Thursday.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, paper block, maybe jog, eat frugally and relax. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you dear readers get to make with the topics and we all get to post about them. So, let’s have loads of lovely topics and loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I continue to think, therefore I am.
